"By using the mental means of creation granted him by God, a person can bring into their environment any condition or material possession they sincerely and avidly desire.”

Eklal Kueshana

My defining experience of the aforementioned “reversal of flow” occurred when I was 19.

By then I’d rather forgotten much of my dreamy passions for manifesting cooperative, collective Spirit, having been caught in a web of mundane activity. By then I was already married to my Hephaestus, with a beautiful, young son and a busy life in Phoenix. My external appearance, an open (dynamic) mind, and a well worn dream journal were, by and large, the remnants of my former freaky self.

And then came a Sunday in August. I was shotgun in our white Malibu, heading down I-40 for a visit home when a hitchhiker’s gleaming smile spun my world into slow motion. It was quite similar to the experience of seeing yourself about to wreck or fall; I was instantly hyper-aware of everything.

We never picked-up hitchhikers. Not ever. And now our son was in the car. But there was something – some gleaming something – compelling me to make exception. It weighed in the man’s favor that he was well-dressed, neatly kept, and later on in his years. Yet physical appearance was the last reflection, often presenting an inverse of the Truth, and I was alert enough to fear that the strong magnetic pull to reverse our course was destiny tugging me toward my slaughter.

One exit passed and then another before half of me was certain enough to take charge. It is never easy to get back to where you just have been on the interstate, and so now I was kicking myself that by the time we could turn around and go back, the man would be gone. Of course, however, I wouldn't be telling you this story!

His name was Al. After the door was closed and we were speeding along our way he did a good job at quickly – and completely – freaking me out, “I knew you’d turn around. Several cars stopped but I just waved them along. I was waiting for you.”

“For me?” I questioned, my voice projecting surprise even while I couldn’t deny that I’d known as much somewhere within my own bones. I’d quite literally felt destiny’s tug.

“You have called me into your environment and chosen this very moment for me to enter your life. And we have just about an hour to figure out why.”

“An hour?” My eyes were as wide as they ever were; my voice, almost quivering. Had I really been so naive as to believe that Destiny had only great and Magickal things in store for me?

Hephaestus nudged me, “That’s how long we got ‘till Prescott. Chill out.” (This last bit was for me, whispered beneath clenched teeth).

“Do you think I could be your Angel?” he wondered.

The question sounded absolutely crazy to me. “Not if you’re wondering,” I said.

“I mean such as a messenger or someone sent to you as an agent of the spiritual realm. You might use another name.”

In the spirit of getting along with the potential mad man, I conceded, “My mom’s a Ramtha follower. That sounds like what she’d call a ‘runner’.”

“Okay… a runner it is! Do you think I could be your runner?”

“Sure, that could always be a possibility,” I agreed.

“Well, I’m not sure what message I’m supposed to give you…”

“Neither am I,” I never much liked the idea of people trying to sell me a message, but I was trying to keep the peace, “Maybe there’s something I’m supposed to pass along to my mom. Maybe you’re a runner for her, through me.”

“I know you’re the one who called me. I am here for you,” he insisted.

Hephaestus chuckled to himself at my dismay. He regularly enjoyed mocking me for some of my stranger ways and seemed to find amusement in this strangeness coming back at me.

Al continued, “Let’s start talking about some of the things we have in common…”

He named several topics I had little interest or experience in. And then he said it; the thing I would come back to later, “What about Intentional Community? Do you have any interest in that?”

Aside from Mihr, a various few authors, and Arcosanti, not far from my familiar neck of the woods, there was no one else known to me who understood the concept. I remember the chills that came over me.

Al told me of his history as one of the originators of a large Intentional Community, and of a plan for a Community in my hometown. In fact, he explained that he was employed in Planning and Zoning as part of a development committee for the purpose of giving the Community an “in” with the town. He detailed the area for me, directing me to specific roads he’d been responsible for laying out and naming, which matched with certain energy lines he explained were powerful across the area. The roads had beautiful, celestial names like “Dawn of the Milky Way” and “Path of the Morning Star”.

He spoke of pyramids and color chambers and Humans who were sleeping Gods.

“We aren’t far from the house I’m staying at so I have to, unfortunately, wrap up this most exciting conversation by telling you that I’ve figured out why it is you called me…”

I thought he was going to suggest that I join with him in building Community, and was partially right.

“You, dear, are a Civilization Builder. And certainly it will be you who inherits the responsibility of Community in the Valley of Chi. But that, of itself, is not the importance of this day,” he cleared his throat; once again there was something about the gleam of his smile that made time slow and my head spin, “The Sun is right there in Leo about to cross into Virgo, so I would think the timing is spot on. Look around. Do you feel different from others? Do you want to know why? You’re not hibernating like a Being looking out from their animal soul. You’re not dormant like a deciduous tree. You’re a sleeping Human; a God; a Star! Your Fire is burning and your consciousness is in the right place! Somewhere inside yourself you realize that your Flame, for however unique, is part of an Inferno it burns for… And I am here to tap you.”

“Tap me?” I wasn’t fond of people trying to save me. On some level I wanted everyone to simply take some responsibility for Mastering and saving themselves.

“Yes,” Al affirmed, “This is the moment of your tapping. You brought me into your experience to tap you Awake. Keep in mind, however, that you’ve been sleeping for some time so it’s not going to happen right away.”

In my mindset back then his audacity pissed me off. The rest of the ride I was terse, non-responsive, and pretty much resistant to everything he said. And then for nearly an entire year I struggled with something like perturbed curiosity; what sort of person is it that goes around talking like Al had talked to me? Did he really believe in his own words? Was he crazy? Was it some kind of act? Could he have possibly truly waited for us to turn around, and known enough to determine himself a messenger? Was I crazy for even wondering?

Half of me really wanted to know all about him; to figure him out; to validate or exclude the details he’d given and get a grip on the experience. The other half of me just thought it should be a lesson bearing out our “never stop for hitchhikers” rule; clearly he was functioning, at best, from an uncommon place.

I shared the experience with my mother and gave the contact card he'd stuffed into my hand to her, just in case she saw anything in the experience that compelled her further and maybe half hoping that she would figure him out.

And then I did my best to put the whole affair out of my mind even as I started to see that it was changing me.

Later it felt important to me to realize that Neptune correlates to the 13^th Tarot card, given all that funky Neptunian energy that blessed my 13^th year. (Note: The card is numbered 12 because the first card is zero.)

The 13^th card is the Hanged Man. Its letter is ‘M’ or Mem, meaning ‘Water’. Its number is 40 signifying “suspended in wait” – such as the forty years Moses spent in the parched desert – and implies the suspended animation of our Higher Awareness, slumbering like a seed.

Traditionally the Hanged Man is shown upside-down to demonstrate the reversal of flow which must take place for the seed to become active and climb outside itself and upward, back toward the Source.

“Only the best people fight against all obstacles in the pursuit of happiness.”

Heavenly Creatures

While my room was plastered with posters of long-haired boys, my first love was a girl.

Mihr was small and sprightly with curly copper hair that sprung as she walked. She almost always wore white; as I would learn later, to signify her obsession with purity and purification.

I'm not sure how, but somehow the Universe facilitated Mihr's receipt of an invitation I’d intended for someone else and showed up to my slumber party, a virtual stranger. Oddly enough I'd even penned a giant letter 'M' onto the envelope, for my good friend, Mai, whose awkwardness around the topic of my slumber party could now be explained.

We went to a small, country school but I hadn't noticed Mihr until the very moment she stepped awkwardly through the front gate. She thought that perhaps I'd invited her because of some friends we had in common.

Almost immediately we were inexplicably - and somewhat embarrassingly - smitten. This was before it was commonplace to be bisexual and still seemingly dangerous to be outed as gay. Looking back we often defined that night as though we were magnetic puzzle pieces that snapped, without hesitation, into place. Even though we were quite young, we never questioned our past or future Work together.

She was being raised in a strict Catholic tradition which included Latin mass and a bevy of Aunts who were all Nuns. Yet her entire life she had secretly interacted with a “Guardian” she identified as a spiritual orb named Druda, which I’ve since learned to truly mean "Frater" or “brother-friend”. Because of Druda she held dear, and in Silence, all those concepts which are typically a far cry from a thirteen year-old Catholic school girl’s reality.

From my slumber party forward it was the two of us, inseparable. We weren’t two thirteen year-old girls but two immortal beings, separated by death and finally reunited once more. We saw ourselves as Ageless "Civilization Builders" and in our naive excitement declared as much to our parents and the world.

Her Silence was broken.

No surprisingly what our "insane proclamations" achieved in our private lives was a great number of restrictions being placed on our time together, and in our rebellion, her parent’s deciding I must be the Anti-Christ sent to beguile their little girl. Eventually our wrestling even caused enough turmoil to rouse the intervention of the local Priest.

School was our sanctuary where we spent every available second in communication. We switched classes and schedules to find more time together and paired up any chance we could. When we were apart we wrote long letters to one another, all in an intricate coded tongue to keep our messages a secret between us.

Every chance we got we put our collective statement out there. Actuality was nothing like the reality we were all being force fed; there was another, more collective, way to think and to live. We began to study Intentional Communities, Communes and other alternative lifestyle choices, and in an independent studies class devoted a year to designing a course syllabus for teaching grade school children Social Architecture and Civilization Building.

Because we’d put together the course around the concept of designing a New Society in a bubble at the bottom of the sea (and tried to accurately account for all that would literally involve) the syllabus managed to win us both a free-ride slot in an “Introducing Young Woman to New Fields of Technology” summer program at a college campus a couple hours from our home. We studied geology, biology, forensic science, robotics, and electrical engineering. We slept in dorms, had passes to get whatever we wanted three times a day at the campus cafeteria, and the only check-in occurred at the midnight curfew. That was a summer to remember! An amazing dose of freedom for two fifteen year-old girls that already savvied themselves old and wise, and once we tasted that freedom there was no going back! As soon as were home - burning with determination - we managed to turn the remaining two years of high school into six short months of intensive work and too soon were living the lives of those many years our senior.

Despite the fantastic struggle it often took to weather the waves of opposition common to our path, Mihr remained a near-constant fixture in my life until death parted our course shortly after her 28^th birthday. We enjoyed many adventures, started a few intentional tribes, and could often be seen on moonless-nights twirling like ecstatic Sufis beneath the Stars.

Anyone caught drunk driving in Nassau County will have their name, address, criminal record and mugshot shown to the public. Suozzi is asking media outlets to publicize the information. The county will also be posting the arrests on their website, for all to see. Officials hope that this will serve as a deterrent to those thinking about driving intoxicated. If the idea is successful, Nassau County may try it more often.

Last year, 72 people were arrested over the Memorial Day Weekend for driving intoxicated. On average, 10 people are arrested each night for DWIs in Nassau.

Nassau County Police Officer Kenneth Baribault, who was struck by a drunk driver on the LIE last week, is still listed as critical condition at Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow.

“The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, no knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”

Rumi

Shortly before my 13^th birthday I realized I would need to learn Astrology to fulfill my life’s “mission”. I wasn’t sure exactly what that mission was just yet, but I could feel the Fire of Purpose burning at the depth of my Soul and had some ideas.

Thankfully my father accommodated me by ordering one of every book on the subject from the strange and rare catalog of Dover Publications. This amounted to two boxes of obscure and occulted works rather suddenly infiltrating my reality. And the first material I read became the first material that made sense to my world view.

Since my earliest childhood – nearly from the time I could speak – I spoke of my past incarnations, detailing snapshots of memories – of people, events and places – in countless journals, and now experienced my first tangible validations. I remember feeling excited for the future and for my existence each time my reflections on the past and the printed details connected.

From these books I also began my studies in Astrology, Mythology, Qabalah, Gematria, and various other esoteric sciences and Magickal arts. These brought Reason to, and increased the definition of, my unique perspective.

Increasingly my perspective isolated me from others, which I learned had quite a lot to do with my auspicious Neptune, seated on the Ascendant in Sagittarius. The same as any other energy expressing itself in this material duality, Neptune presented in extremes; the energy could create prisons in the same moment it left boundaries dissolved. I saw a connected Universe – an interwoven ONE THING – but I was alone.

I recorded in my journal that one Astrologer wrote of my specific Neptune placing that it caused a person to be a “true child of the Source”, opening channels and gateways which are more commonly shut. Another linked it to the Morning Star and said it would put one in touch with the Invisible Schools of the Universe. However, I highlighted my favorite -

“You are likely to identify with a dream that transcends your own dreams, and will work diligently to reassemble the scattered puzzle of Creation in the form of a spiritual community.”

It spoke to my Soul.

It made me think of my cycle of lives. I started to realize that the volume of my memories wove around keeping a group of others together, or gathering them after they’d scattered.

It was shortly after this that I met another like me.

“When the Whole is organized, it is an Articulation.”

Immanuel Kant

So it was at the age of 8 that I began to conceive of a Universal spirituality, a way in which ALL are immortal and connected. Albeit somewhat vaguely, I became Aware of the peripheral details of the Way which still evolves before my ever-opening Mystic Eye…

Here’s the thing – number, letter, sound, color, shape, character, behavior, appearance, etc. are all attributes of vibration, or varying emanations, of the same ONE THING. Study it, and contemplate it, and you will see how the Universe is strung together by resonate concepts like beads along a string.

This ONE THING is the Origin, the Ultimate Frontier, the Creator and the Whole of Creation. It is the stalk of the Tree that is risen from the thrust of First Motion, in perfect reflection of the fiery matrix of its hidden seed. This is why it is said that Fire is the originating germ or seed, but Water is the Source of Life, compelling motion the only way motion can occur without inertia – by way of reflection.

This ONE THING is thus referred to as “the First Emanation”; All Things brought to existence in one explosive release; that core of (genetic) Knowledge within, externalized. I AM!

This pure declaration is mirrored across the dimensions so that it has, for example, magnitude, measure, pattern, imagery, vibrational quality, and in the material Universe, a body, Known in our present Season of Time as Neptune.

From the stalk of Tree – that First Emanation – comes the fruited branches, each branch a conceptualization in answer to the assertion I AM. Thus, including the First, there are ten Emanations and the seed, Zero, which preceded them… Awareness begets Wisdom which begets Understanding which begets Mercy which begets Strength which begets Beauty, and on like this, until there is also Victory and Illumination laid in the Foundation of the elemental World.

Astrology helps to discern the Way, as each Emanation is conceptualized as a body Known to us. The three Mothers are seen in the three outer planets – Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto – which are the three Super-Conscious Forces behind our Triune Presence. The seven “Doubles” (so called because of each expressing a latent and active phase) are what the ancients called the “living planets”, which include the Sun and Moon. They are the seven Conscious, Creative Forces represented in the seven natures of our Human expression.

The Earth is representative of the 10^th Emanation, the Kingdom, signifying in the Astrological equation the elemental forces (i.e. the three Super-Conscious Forces playing through the four dimensions collectively known to us here), witnessed through the twelve constellations which comprise the twelve (zodiac) tribes.

My tribe, at least by my Sun, is Libra, in Biblical scripture depicted as Naphtali, “set free like the wind and uttering beautiful words”...

“So long as you remain unknowing that the body is a thing borrowed, you can understand nothing at all.”

~Tenrikyo,

Ofudesaki

Neptune is one of three Prime Forces some call “The Mothers” – that is, Primal Water, Primal Fire, and Primal Air.

Neptune is Water; the first emanation or external expression. Whereas Fire preceded it, the Primal Fire is internal and does not emanate but stays Actual and simply is.

Neptune is the All-Encompassing Circumference (which is why Ocean was often depicted as encircling earth as well as the Heavens), the King of Conscious Activity, the I AM which seeks to answer its own assertion. When I state that I am the Daughter of Neptune, I am expressing myself as the offspring of consciousness. As though by genetic impulse I am deeply compelled to consciously evolve.

Around the age of 8 an experience with “the other side” greatly illuminated my mind on the matter of consciousness and evolution. As was my habit I rose early one Saturday morning to grab my bowl of cereal and park myself in front of Saturday morning cartoons before the peace was disrupted and my time was no longer my own. There on the kitchen counter sat my Aunt Ruby in her hospital gown; my aunt who lived several hundred miles away. She looked so strange it took my breath away and caused me to take several quick back-steps toward the door. For a confused second I worried that something had happened to my parents during the night.

And then I understood. My Aunt was dead. I stepped close enough to feel her radiating cold. She smiled her same easy-going smile and reached out toward me, but I was still too frightened to take her hand, too frightened of feeling my hand pass through her. Yet something in her smile brought a wondrous epiphany to me. Since birth I’d been rather intimate with the Knowledge that death was a revolving door but what I hadn’t fully conceived of was that life was not our flesh; that flesh was more like a vehicle or container reflecting what was inside. For here was Ruby, her appearance the same other than the signs of her cancer were gone, and now that I was really looking, there was a slight, silver-grey sheen giving her away as something from that half of my reality that others increasingly shoved beneath the label of “overactive imagination”.

“I have to go,” she explained from her peculiar perch on our counter, “and the kids are going to be upset. Especially Wade. This is going to hit him the hardest and he’s going to need your help. Soon your lives will intersect down at your Grandma May’s house, and I need you to give him a message…”

She told me what she wanted me to say and then I asked her why she had to go and where she was going. She said, “I’ve fought a long battle. I’m tired and need some rest. But I’ll be back soon. Wade will need me to come back to him as quickly as I can and I made a promise with your Uncle to trade him places…”

Ruby showed me an image beside her of Wade as a man with a newborn baby girl in his arms. She painted a purple letter ‘M’ on the girl with her fingertip and disappeared.

Although it may sound the opposite, for me the swirling boundary between Actual and imaginary clarified, and so much confusion slid from shoulders that day.

Just to conclude... my cousin married just out of high school and his daughter “M” was born a year later, a carbon copy of his mother. When M was 9 years-old my Uncle – her grandfather – collapsed suddenly and died at her feet.

1.  I'm still in my 30's, but only for a few more months.

2.  I live in Florida, but work in Alabama

3.  I love to sew and make things.

4.  I have spent the past 3 days making birds for Teacher Appreciation's Day.  My kid's school mascot is the Cardinal, hence the birds.

5.  I share a birthday with J-lo and Amelia Earhart.

“Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing and any other…”

It was interesting to me that within this same week I’d received a wonderful lesson on Unity vs. Oneness. It resonated like a lightening flash through me for I’d long pondered over the fact that the Unity Chakra is not only below the Gateway of the Heart and the Subtle Realms there forth, but even below the Seat of Self, the Chakra of our own identity. Somewhere at the back of my mental network I could never quite fully connect with Unity’s whirling relative to the region of my womb instead of the most vibrationally-refined glory at the crown of my head… for what could be a more subtle a vibration than diffusing and merging Self into some form of other?

Ah! But here I saw that I was confusing Unity for Oneness. Confusing a state of collective identification (which makes great sense relative to the womb and the Moon) with a state where identity is nothing more than a facet of the same one gem. And this, the All-as-One, is a perfect Neptunian message. In fact, it is even the Prime Force of Neptune which seeds (or activates) the Crown of Awareness at the top of my head.

“By and by comes the Great Awakening; then we find that this life is really just a wonderful dream.”

~Lao Tzu

My Sacred 88^th friend suggested that I channel my “freaky Neptunian message of unity” into the written word so as to manifest the spiritual community of my Heart’s Desire at lightning speed.

It called to mind a time four years ago when I’d stood at a crossroads. Having put equal energies into two similar but divergent paths I’d come to the place where straddling was no longer possible; I had to choose. And I chose for the path that would “just get the information out there”. I stripped my Passion of all things which made it personal to me and diligently accomplished my goal.

But community wasn’t unfolding. And here I was being quite clearly presented with the course I’d set aside, by one who beat me to the punch in mentioning his status as my 88^th friend and spoke synchronistically of Neptune’s relationship to 88 in “the Unified Field”, and the Astrological implications of Neptune seeding my Burning Desire for Union on a societal scale. I was once so keenly Aware of Neptune’s impression on my conscious mind that I’d taken Neifion, meaning Neptune, as my surname.

Honestly, I might have chosen to concentrate on the nuts and bolts – the structure – of information because my Soul’s pattern is toward great reservation when it comes to thrusting the Self out there, or initiating action that strongly asserts an individualized stance. And with all of this unfolding in the days preceding Equinox, I knew that I was being prompted to use the Sun’s passage into Aries to initiate action for the sake of the collaborative spirit of the Full Libran Moon.

Returning to an account I doubted to still exist, I found an unpublished blog I’d forgotten the existence of. There I’d taken my first steps down the course I return to now, introducing the more personal and revelatory aspects of my reality. It is not surprising that my first entry there was dated August 8^th. 8-8.

Le son est généré en tant que mouvement vibratoire des particules. Les vibrations produisant le son exhibent une énergie, un modèle vibratoire acoustique, qui existe dans l'ensemble de la nature, pas seulement chez l'individu et dans le monde, mais bien au-delà, dans le cosmos. Les modèles vibratoires du son renferment la clé de la compréhension des modèles d'être et d'organisation de la matière dans l'univers physique.

A échelle cosmique, le son est un pouvoir universel indécelable, capable de susciter de profonds changements sur de nombreux plans - physique, émotionnel et spirituel. Le son fait partie des énergies les plus transformatrices de la planète, à même de rétablir l'équilibre et l'harmonie de la vie. Toutefois le son a aussi la capacité de déséquilibrer encore d'avantage le taux vibratoire déjà mis à rude épreuve des hommes.

Les anciens savaient ce que la physique moderne admet maintenant - tout ce qui existe est en un état de vibration constante. Ils partageaient la conviction que le monde avait été créé à travers le son. Au début de l'Ancien Testament, dans la Genèse, Dieu dit "Que la lumière soit !" Jean écrit dans le Nouveau Testament : "au commencement était la Parole, et la Parole était avec Dieu, et la Parole était Dieu." Les Védas hindous font une affirmation presque identique : "au commencement était Brahma, avec qui était la Parole. Et la Parole est Brahm. "Les Egyptiens pensaient que le Dieu Thot avait créé le monde grace à sa voix. Dans Popol-Vuh, ouvrage à caractère mythologique réunissant les traditions sacrées des mayas, la vie est conférée aux premiers hommes grâce au seul pouvoir de la Parole. Le récit Hopi de la création affirme que tous les animaux ont été créés par la Femme Araignée entonnant le Chant de la Création.

A chaque lette de l'alphabet hébraïque correspond une valeur numérique : les trois premières : Aleph, Bet et Gimel ont respectivement la valeur 1,2 et 3.
Les kabbalistes pensent qu'en calculant la valeur numérique d'un mot on définit son essence archétypale éternelle. Selon eux, deux mots ou deux phrases ayant la même valeur numérique auront aussi la même essence. La gématria (ou guématrie) est une technique visant à dévoiler la signification profonde des mots et des phrases en fonction de leur valeur numérique, pratiquée d'habitude sur les noms bibliques et les noms d'anges.

Wii Disassembly

Pre Disassembly tip: Back up all game saves on a SD card.

In order to get to the parts that we're going to need to modify you have to fully disassemble your Wii. I'm guessing that you have the tools to do this, if you need assistance on what to pull apart and when see this link: Wii Disassembly Tutorial

Now I'm not sure what all you'll lose by not having it attached other than your system clock and date, but I kept the battery on the board as much as possible and during disassembly only had it detached for about a max of 5 seconds at a time and once I had it fully disassembled I taped it into it's receptical slot while I worked on my mod.

Wire Preperation

I just found a connector cable extra from my PC to use, it's suppose to go from the sound card to the front connector of my case, but you can of course use anything with simular gauged wire, stranded will result in better connections, but single wire is going to be easier for those that aren't good solderers.

I pulled out all but five of the wires then stripped the tips of the remaining five and tinned them. This made the black section of the cable much easier to flatten for when I screwed it back together and you only need a total of 6 wires any way and only 5 run the length of the board.

Soldering the GC Memcard Side

The GC Memory Card Pinouts located right next to the USB in the back, easy enough.

Here's the Pinout Connection Scematic, top set, Slot B, bottom, Slot A:

When soldering your connections I'd sudjest taping down the Black Section (tube) or other ends of the wire that way when you're shifting around the wire you're working on that it doesn't break loose your other previously soldered connections.

The Black wire you see is bridged between all the pins that need to be grounded to the Ground pin on the left hand side.

The White Wire is bridging the Sense functions together to eliminate the need for a switch and or the need to run that connection the length of the board. I've found that the Wii will auto resense switching between SD cards and GC cards without the need to manually break this sense connection unlike a GC.

Soldering the Wii SD Card Side

Run the 5 wires to the opposite end of the board, I'd sudjest having them wrapped inside of something to prevent any interference with the board and also just to protect them from shorting. Also tape down your connections all along to prevent flexing while working with the other end and breaking loose your presoldered connection.

(Check out those sweet pants)

We don't need to hook anythign to the the GR, 3, 6, or 9 slots, by the Wii's mainboard construction they're already grounded.

(TAPE IT TRUST ME!)

Data Charts Sum'd Up

Final Words

Put the dang thing back together! I left a piece of tape on the black section to keep it put so it would not get pinched inbetween the board and the metal risers as well as put a piece of tape over the top of the GC pins due to the fact that my soldering there was less than pretty and I didn't want it to contact the metal underframe at all either otherwise yah, that'd cause issues.

After reassembly I was able to dump DVD's using the 1.3config disk and the DVDdump program to a 2gig SD card at the rate of 1,800KB/sec., the max rate that the Wii can output is around 6,400KB/sec. but will vary depending on the speed of your SD card. Also I was able to run both N64 and SNES roms off it.

In a N64 game you only need to insert the GC mem card after you remove the SD Card (you actually don't even need to remove the SD card but I'd sudjest it for data safety) and it'll autorecognise the insertion of the GC mem card and allow you to save/load just as normal.

Also it'll still recognise normal SD card data and information while in the Wii storage control panel and GC data in the Wii storage control panel, just pop out the SD card prior to throwing in the GC card.

Problems?

None that I know of or have seen, even having both mem cards in at the moment proves not to be an issue, it will read the GC mem card over the SD card. Worse comes to worse you pop the mem card out (either SD or GC) if it's not reading, push it back in and it recognises. Any one find ANY issues let me know and I'll double check and confirm them but can't forsee any. And as always....

Happy Modding=]

Mercredi 16 avril, avant la réunion à Paris des grandes puissances économiques, le président George Bush, avait exposé, sa nouvelle stratégie dans la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique : arrêter l'augmentation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre aux Etats Unis d'ici à 2025, notamment en demandant aux centrales électriques de réduire leurs émissions polluantes. Des propositions vagues, sans chiffres concrets, coupant court à toute discussion. Il a signalé, en outre : "une mauvaise législation imposerait à notre économie et aux familles américaines des coûts terribles, sans pour autant atteindre les objectifs de changement climatique que nous partageons tous".

Ce qui paraît clair, c'est que les Etats-Unis, responsables de 25% des émissions de CO2 avec une population inférieure à 5% de la population mondiale ne comptent pas s'engager si la Chine et l'Inde ne le font pas ! M. Bush s'appuie, notamment, sur le fait que les émissions de son pays ont diminué de 1,1 % en 2006 par rapport à 2005. Mais selon certaines études très récentes, les émissions de la Chine auraient rejoint - voire dépassé - celles des Etats-Unis.

Les 15 plus gros pays émetteurs de CO2 dans le Monde

Infographie Le Monde, 17/04/08

La position de G. Bush n'a pas du tout convaincu ses partenaires et Stavros Dimas, commissaire européen à l'environnement, a déclaré au Monde que "ce que propose le président Bush ne contribue pas réellement à la lutte contre le changement climatique et ne répond pas à ce que la science nous dit sur l'urgence d'agir". "Nous avons besoin d'objectifs beaucoup plus ambitieux de la part des pays développés", a-t-il ajouté. Rappelons que l'Union européenne s'est, elle, engagée à réduire de 20 %, voire 30%, ses émissions en 2020.

Les pays émergents ont également réagi par la voix du ministre sud-africain de l'environnement, Marthinus van Schalwyk, en soulignant que les grands pays du Sud n'accepteront de contrôler leurs émissions de gaz à effet de serre que si les Etats-Unis s'engagent à un niveau supérieur au leur.

La discussion semble dans limpasse jusqu'à l'élection du prochain président des Etats-Unis...

Ce matin, le président Sarkozy a prononcé un discours que certains ont trouvé "mou" et "timoré" . Cependant il a déclaré que la lutte pour la défense du climat doit aller de pair avec celle contre la pauvreté et la faim, en annonçant un doublement de l'aide française (60 M d'euros dès cette année) pour faire face à la crise alimentaire.

Rappel : Le groupe international d'experts sur le climat (GIEC/IPCC) estime que jusqu'à 3,2 milliards d'humains seront exposés à des pénuries d'eau et 600 millions à la faim en raison des sécheresses et de la dégradation des sols d'ici 2080.

en demonstreert heel duidelijk hoe een merk als Oprah in de combinatie met een Discovery weer door kan groeien. In een tijd die vraagt om nieuwe benaderingen en sterke verbindingen is dit een goed voorbeeld.

Oprah and Discovery to Launch OWN

Oprah OWNOprah Winfrey is getting her own television network in a partnership with Discovery Communications. Oprah Winfrey http://www2.oprah.com/index.jhtml and Discovery Communications  http://corporate.discovery.com/ have announced plans to create the OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. OWN will debut in 2009 in more than 70 million homes, on what is currently the Discovery Health Channel. The press statement says Oprah Winfrey will have full editorial control over the joint venture and will be responsible for OWN's programming, branding and creative vision. Winfrey will serve as Chairman of The Oprah Winfrey Network, LLC and the venture will be 50/50 owned by Discovery and Harpo.

Discovery Communications will contribute to the venture the Discovery Health Channel as well as handle distribution, origination and other operational requirements for the proposed venture. Both organizations will contribute advertising sales services to the venture.

The companies said the search for OWN's Chief Executive Officer to oversee day-to-day venture operations will begin immediately.
